Pains...
- One Sensei-sprained Dai-Yonkyo wrist.
- One sprained middle finger from a freak occurence involving the heel of my own Sensei's not-yet-ranked uke at the seminar (I guess this means I won't be flipping anyone off for a while. Rats.)
- Sore shoulders from working out. A new and...delightful treat.
- That damn Aiki-Otoshi. 'Nuff said.

Gains...
- A heck of a lot of training.
- Experience (ie. another great seminar)
- Knowledge (in the form of three books read and one video on ukemi watched --- see last entry)
- Reps. Lots of them. I'll beat that Aiki-Otoshi into submission yet!
- A growing (though often fluxuating) self-confidence. Yay me!
